I think back to 2009 and think of the state of opsec back then and I think people could very much use ridiculously traceable names for something like Bitcoin.

- tim333 2y agoThough I think bitcoin Satoshi made a reasonable effort to keep anonymous. It was probably cunning to use the name of a real person, the Satoshi Nakamoto who lived a few blocks from Finney as it would confuse any legal efforts to go after the bitcoin creator Satoshi. I mean in court it would be saying I accuse you Joe Bloggs of being Satoshi Nakamoto and Joe Bloggs would be saying no it's the guy in LA who is actually called that.
